MATW Signals & Forecast
The Matthews International Corporation stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $28.91 and $27.91. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.581%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Trading Expectations (MATW) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 16th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 16th we expect Matthews International Corporation to open at $29.35, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $28.28 and $29.94, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.83 (+/-2.84%) up or down from last closing price. If Matthews International Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.67% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $29.14 (0.10%) than the support at $28.84 (0.93%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
Is Matthews International Corporation stock A Buy?
Matthews International Corporation holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
